Operator Mian	Clear Wave 2-4	Defensive Invaders up ahead are configured with extra lasers, be careful!
Marshal Liss	Mission Complete	Our surprise attack was a success. We move to Phase II.

Marshal Liss	Pre-Mission	Each pilot will strike the Invaders at different points in the sector. Get to your ships!
	(Marshal Liss' Phoenix Beta and Captain Merrick's Starless appear on screen.) Mission Start	Look alive pilots, we are behind enemy lines. See if you can find any targets of opportunity.
Captain Merrick	Mission Start (Marshal Liss and Captain Merrick leave after the transmission.)	It feels great to fly again. Let's rock and roll.

Operator Mian	Mission Complete	… somehow … they still communicate with you? This is very interesting …
Marshal Liss	Post Mission	Excellent shooting, but we're not done yet. We've got more targets to hit.

Trivia: The Satellites were originally supposed to be more involved in the story as an earlier version of the story had an arc about Invader communication, where supposedly the Satellites were more involved. However, this was dumped down during development to them being merely targets of opportunity. To quote from the devs, "it would be something if they suddenly started firing a laser and spinning around."

Marshal Liss	Pre-Mission	Listen up! Mian's got a wild idea, but it could give us the upper hand. Operator, fill them in.
Operator Mian	Pre-Mission	Ok, this might sound crazy, but the Rocs’ comms with you could be our way in. If we can get you close enough, I might be able to hack into it through the signal.
Marshal Liss	Pre-Mission	You heard the Operator. Let's get you up close and personal to that Roc.
	Mission Start	[Rank], we will hold off their reinforcements while you approach the Roc.

		Well done, everyone. We struck hard and took down one of their Rocs. You’ve earned bonus credits for your efforts.
	Post Supply Drop (You will receive ¢1.000)	Mian, what did we learn from the hack? Anything useful?
Operator Mian	Post Supply Drop	What I found is alarming. It seems they are planning a massive attack on the Prometheus Array!
